But a new study aggregating several climate and crop models suggests that the primary driver of climate change—rising levels of carbon dioxide—may also prove beneficial to crops, mitigating a portion of the damage. The study, and led by Delphine Deryng, an environmental scientist at the University of Chicago’s , Columbia University’s Center for Climate Systems Research and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, finds that hi
